NFL Football Picks

Both the New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots looked like hot garbage last week. In fact, Mac Jones was so bad, he was benched in the second half. He’s expected to start in Week 5 though. The Saints rushed Derek Carr back and it showed. He appeared to have a weak arm due to injury. So what happens when two poor teams meet? Get Zman’s NO/NE free pick here!

The Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Pirates series is usually a tight one that comes down to the last quarter. This season’s Steeler’s team has some issues though. Can they overcome their blowout loss to the Texans last week? Lamar Jackson appears to be back in his comfort zone. Get Zman’s Bal/Pit prediction here!

Christmas comes early for us degenerate gamblers Thanksgiving Day as festivities kick of with the Bears vs. Lions at Ford Field. Many thought the loss of Matthew Stafford would make Detroit non-competitive, however, Jeff Driskel is no Turkey! (get it?) The Lions got beat last week on the road vs. a hungry Skins team and the Bears “Bearly” got by the NYG at home last week. Don’t let those results skew your opinion of this week’s game as there’s only one way to bet this game!

The Green Bay Packers have quietly put up on of the best records in the NFL at 8-2. Week 12 MNF promises to be an exciting game as the 49ers have been overachieving as well. Aaron Rodgers and the Pack are likely to be a tough opponent after a bye. Check out Keith’s prediction with analysis!

The time to bet on a team is when you’ve bet them all season and they’ve put you in the poor house and you’re thinking about stopping betting on them! As crazy as this sounds, it’s the truth. I’ve been on the Redskins a TON and they’ve shoved it up my gazoo almost every time. Point spreads are based on public perception and EVERYBODY hates the Skins at this point in the season. They actually match up pretty well with a fading Detroit team suffering multiple injuries to skill position players.

If you’ve watched Cleveland Browns games this season, the thought of laying double digit points with a Freddie Kitchens led team is laughable. This coach makes bad decisions time after time. I have also watched all the Miami Dolphins games this season and as crazy as it sounds, they’ve gotten better each game. Check out Loot’s take on this Week 12 barn-burner!

Anybody notice how bad the Cowboys defense was last week vs. a bad Detroit team with a journeyman QB at the helm? Here’s how this one plays out… Bill Belichick always takes the opponents best player away (Elliott in this case). This forces Dak Prescott to throw into what I believe is the best secondary in the NFL. BAD MATCHUP! See Mike’s full take on this Week 12 Best Bet!

At first glance, the Jags vs. Titans game appears to be Week 12’s toughest bet to crack. The closer you look, the more the Titans look like a solid bet. Jacksonvile struggles to stop the run, they’re in a revenge spot, they’ve got ownage at home vs. Jax and Mike Vrabel is an up and coming coach. Jacksonville has Foles back, but he’s rusty and that’s no good because timing is important. Derrick Henry is primed for a big day!

Can anybody stop Lamar Jackson? The one man wrecking ball has led the Ravens to six straight wins with four covers during that span. Home dogs in the NFL are usually good bets but not so much in Week 12!

Prior to receiving the gift of playing the creampuff Redskins and Giants, the Jets had averaged around 11 points per game. Things get a bit tougher for them this week as the Raiders come to town. Oakland is playing good football and are a nice value as a -3 short favorite.
